A very intriguing candidate now that they are eligible, Slipknot will bring to the table a very loud fan base, very loud music, and very loud costumes. This is not to take away from what is a very decent Nu-Metal band that continues to sell a ton of records and despite the gimmickry is very well respected. Slipknot could be a fringe candidate for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame…stranger things has happened, though perhaps not to a stranger band!

Should Slipknot be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put them in! - 93.5%

Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 3.6%

Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 0%

No opinion. - 0%

No way! - 2.9%
